Kanha National Park, National park in Madhya Pradesh, India

The 940-square-kilometer reserve contains grasslands, sal forests, and bamboo thickets that support populations of tigers, leopards, and various deer species.

The Indian government established Kanha National Park in 1955 to protect wildlife from hunting and deforestation that threatened many animal species.

The landscapes and wildlife of Kanha National Park provided inspiration for Rudyard Kipling when writing his collection of stories The Jungle Book.

Visitors can participate in guided jeep safaris from October through June, with early morning tours offering increased chances of spotting native animals.

The park serves as the primary habitat for hard ground barasingha deer, with successful conservation efforts increasing their population from 66 to 800.
